Spotted
Day's Elaenia is a subtle and highly localized small flycatcher, often difficult to distinguish from similar species. It typically inhabits humid lowland and foothill forests.
Where to spot
Known from very restricted and fragmented populations in humid lowland and foothill forests in central Brazil and potentially adjacent Bolivia.
How to spot
Requires expert knowledge of subtle plumage differences and specific vocalizations to distinguish from other elaenias. Focus on the mid-story of humid forests and listen for its distinctive calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round within its limited range. Observations are challenging due to its rarity and often inconspicuous nature; early mornings may offer the best chance.
This species is named after Leonard Day, an American ornithologist and collector.
